Streaming Contract Liabilities [Abstract]  
Disclosure of steaming contract liabilities explanatory Streaming arrangements
Accounting policy
Streaming arrangement with Franco-Nevada Barbados
The streaming contract was assessed and has been accounted for as an own-use customer contract. At acquisition, the streaming
contract was initially recognised at a fair value of R1.4 billion in accordance with IFRS 3. The fair value of the contract took into
consideration the existing unfavourable gold price terms at acquisition, in relation to the comparative market gold price.
The obligation to deliver the contractually stipulated ounces over the remaining term of the agreement results in a significant
financing component. The interest accrues on the contract liability over the remaining contractual term. As the performance
obligation to deliver gold is met, the contract liability unwinds into revenue classified as "consideration from streaming contract" in
note 4. The current portion of the liability is determined with reference to the current production profile of the operation for the next
12 months.
Copper and silver streams with OR Royalties
The group has copper and silver streaming arrangements with OR Royalties, which have been accounted for as financial liabilities
containing embedded derivatives in accordance with IFRS 9, Financial Instruments. The embedded derivatives relate to the
applicable commodity price exposure within the contractual delivery obligations. The copper streaming arrangement also includes
an embedded derivative relating to a buy-down option. The embedded derivatives have been separated from the host contracts and
are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
On initial recognition in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations, the copper and silver host contract financial liabilities were
recognised at fair values of R2.3 billion and R2.9 billion, respectively, while the embedded derivatives were recognised at fair values
of  R209 million asset (copper compound derivative) and Rnil (silver derivative).
The host contracts (financial liabilities) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense is
calculated by applying the effective interest rates of 12.1% (copper) and 11.4% (silver) to the respective amortised cost carrying
amounts and is recognised in finance costs.
The embedded derivatives measured at fair value through profit or loss at each reporting period, with changes in fair value
recognised in fair value movements on streaming arrangements. The streaming arrangement liabilities are presented separately on
the balance sheet as streaming contract liabilities, split between current and non-current portions based on expected delivery
schedules.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Streaming arrangement with Franco-Nevada Barbados
The fair value of the unfavourable contract liability, which forms part of the streaming arrangement with Franco-Nevada Barbados
(Franco-Nevada), was measured as the difference between a market analyst consensus of gold prices and the fixed cash
consideration to be received for gold delivered. A post-tax real rate of 11.6% was used to discount the liability over the expected
period of delivery to settle the contract.
Changes in the production plan will affect the subsequent measurement prospectively. This is the only input that is considered for
subsequent measurement. Harmony's cost of debt of 7.7% was used to impute the finance cost for the significant financing
component recognised on the streaming contract liability.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements continued
Copper and silver streams with OR Royalties
When expected future physical deliveries of the applicable commodity are revised due to changes in mine production or reserve
estimates, the carrying amount of the financial liability is recalculated as the present value of revised estimated future cash flows
discounted at the original effective interest rate (in accordance with IFRS 9 paragraph B5.4.6). The resulting catch-up adjustment is
recognised immediately in finance costs.
Fair value of the embedded derivatives is determined using Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. Refer to note 37 for details
on the fair value measurement.
Streaming arrangement with Franco-Nevada Barbados
Harmony's subsidiary, Chemwes, which owns the Mine Waste Solutions operation (MWS), had a contract with Franco-Nevada.
Franco-Nevada was entitled to receive 25% of all the gold produced through MWS, until the balance of the gold cap was delivered.
The gold cap is a provision included in the contract, which stipulates the maximum quantity of gold to be sold to Franco-Nevada
over the term of the agreement. The consideration is determined as the lower of the quoted spot gold price as per the LME or
US$400 per ounce, adjusted with an annual escalation adjustment.
On 23 October 2024, Harmony fulfilled all its obligations stemming from the streaming agreement with Franco Nevada. From
1 July 2024 to 23 October 2024, MWS delivered the outstanding 9 164oz still owed on the contract on 30 June 2024. This settled
the balance of R85 million.
The contract price receivable in US$/oz for each ounce of gold delivered is as follows:
•1 July 2023 – 16 December 2023: US$446/oz.
•17 December 2023 – 23 October 2024: US$451/oz.

(a)Effective 16 June 2023, MAC Copper, a subsidiary of Harmony as of 24 October 2025, entered into a copper purchase
agreement (copper stream) with OR Royalties. Under the terms of the copper stream, in exchange for an upfront cash deposit
of up to US$75 million (available copper deposit), the group is required to deliver an amount of refined copper to OR Royalties
in the form of purchased copper warrants. The deliveries to OR Royalties are equal to the copper stream percentage (as
defined below) of payable copper (being 96.2% of produced copper) produced by the CSA mine during the life of the mine. On
16 June 2023, the full amount of the available copper deposit was drawn to finance, in part, the initial acquisition of the
CSA mine by MAC Copper. As of 30 June 2026, 2 100 tonnes of copper has been delivered towards the copper stream with
OR Royalties. As part of the acquisition of MAC Copper, Harmony has assumed the obligations enforced by the copper
stream.
The copper stream percentages are the following:
Time period
Copper stream percentage
24 October 2025 to 16 June 2028
3.00% (First stream percentage)
17 June 2028 until 33 000 metric tons of refined copper delivered
to OR Royalties (Threshold quantity)
4.875% (Second-threshold stream percentage)
Thereafter from the date that the threshold quantity has been met
2.25% (Tail stream percentage)
Harmony may elect to reduce the copper stream percentage and the threshold quantity on 16 June 2028 to the amounts and
percentages in the table below upon making a one-time payment of US$40 million or US$20 million (buy-down option). The
buy-down option is an embedded derivative measured at fair value through profit or loss, taking into account the likelihood of
the group exercising the option.

In addition to the copper deposit, the group will receive ongoing cash payments for refined copper delivered equal to 4%
(copper cash price) of the cash settlement price for one tonne of refined copper quoted by the LME on the date prior to the
date of delivery (copper market price). Until the copper deposit is reduced to US$nil, the difference between the copper
market price and the copper cash price will be credited against the outstanding copper deposit. After the copper deposit is
reduced to US$nil, the group will continue to receive the copper cash price for each tonne of refined copper delivered. As at
30 June 2026, the outstanding copper deposit was US$53 million (R865 million).

(b)Effective 16 June 2023, MAC Copper entered into a silver purchase agreement (silver stream) with OR Royalties. Under the
terms of the silver stream, in exchange for an upfront cash deposit of US$75 million (silver deposit), the group is required to
deliver to OR Royalties an amount of refined silver, in the form of purchased silver credits. The deliveries to OR Royalties are
equal to 100% of payable silver (calculated as 90% of produced silver) produced by the CSA Mine during the life of mine. On
16 June 2023, the full amount of the silver deposit was drawn to finance, in part, the initial acquisition of the CSA Mine by
MAC Copper. As of 30 June 2026, 1 276 429 ounces of silver has been delivered towards the silver stream with OR
Royalties. As part of the acquisition of MAC Copper, Harmony has assumed the obligations enforced by the silver stream. In
addition to the silver deposit, the group will receive ongoing cash payments for refined silver delivered equal to 4% (silver
cash price) of the silver price quoted by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) for one ounce of refined silver on the
day prior to the date of delivery (silver market price). Until the silver deposit is reduced to US$nil, the difference between the
silver market price and the silver cash price will be credited against the outstanding silver deposit. After the silver deposit is
reduced to US$nil, the group will continue to receive the silver cash price for each ounce of refined silver delivered. As at
30 June 2026, the outstanding silver deposit was US$28 million (R459 million).
